s IMPROVEMENT IN OILERS.

Speciiication forming part of Letters Patent No. 131,441, dated September 17, 1872.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, GHARLEs J. HAUCK, of Brooklyn, E. D., in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Oilers and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable those skilled inthe art to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawing forming part of this specification, iu which drawing- Figure l is a vertical central section of m improved oiler. Fig. 2 is a top view.

Similar letters indicate corresponding parts.

This inventionrelates tohand-Oilers; and consists of a flattened, disk-shaped. vessel, whose upper and lower sides are so made as to have au elastic action when pressed inward. The spout extends horizontally from the edge of the oiler, and is surrounded by a supportingsleeve, which terminates in a drip-cup arranged underneath the spout, near its end, to receive any oil that may gather on the outside of the spout. The inlet of the oiler is arranged in the upper side of its body, and is closed by a screw-plug, which also serves as a pressure.

button for operatin g theapparat-us. The letter A designates the body of the 'oiler, which I make of two disks, B B', of metal,

spun up at their edges to'a zone-like shape, their rims being afterward brought together to form a horizontal joint at C. The central parts D of the two disks which are not operated upon by the spinning-tool retain the natural elasticity of the metal, so that they can be depressed to force Oil out through the spout E in the usual manner. The inlet is arranged in the upper disk B, and is closed by a screwplug, G, whose exterior forms a good surface for the hand when the opposite disk B is pressed upon by the thumb to force oil out of the vessel. The spout E extends from the interior of the oiler through its edge, and horizontally outward therefrom, as shown, its extremity or nozzle being bent up, so that oil will not iiow out therefrom of its own accord while the oiler is lying in its natural position. The discharge-pipe at its inner end is bent or extends upward near or into a recess or bead, a, so that when the can is laid down the said end will be above the level of the oil, and if the air in the can expands from heat the oil will not'iiow out through the said dischargepipe. This is an important feature of my invention. The base of the spout is surrounded and supported by a sleeve, H, which extends from the edge of the oiler halfway to the nozzle of the spout, more or less, and terminates in drip-cup I, arranged underneath the outer end of the spout to catch any oil that may run down from its nozzle.

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

A disk-shaped oil-can, provided with a spout, F, extending horizontally from the exterior into the interior, and curved upward at its inner end, and supported by a sleeve, with or without the drip-cup I, substantially as and for the purpose specied.
